It wasn’t a big name but an emerging phone manufacturer from China named Subor who have realized a concept design phone by coming up with a bezel-less device. The phone is named the Subor S3.
The idea definitely sounds intriguing but a phone without any side bezel is sure to be accident prone. Tests and experience has shown that bezels are the shields for phone screens. Traditional flat displays are rigid unlike flexible displays so it’s yet to be seen whether Subor has come up with a way to strengthen the phone’s screen.
In terms of specifications, the phone is not a top-end phone but a rather decent mid-range device. Physically, the device comes with a three capacitive keys and the renders do show a very small, almost non-existent side bezel.
On the hardware side, the phone is powered by a MTK6732 quad-core SOC with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of on-board storage expandable by 64GB via micro SD card. The display is a 5-inch 720p model. The screen is not a 1080p one but that might prove to be useful as the device is very slim and comes with a 1700 mAh battery. The phone comes with a duo of cameras including an 8MP rear camera with a f/2.0 aperture.

World’s first Bezel-Less phone? Are you kidding me? Ever heard of “Sharp Aquos Crystal”? I guess not.
Instead of copying stuff from Chinese tech sites, you should refer to more authentic sources which have the headline of “Claiming to be the first….” Instead of Chinese “IS the first..”
Exactly what I was thinking
Sharp Aquos has bezels if you look closely. It has minimalistic bezels, something over 1mm of plastic at the sides.
the 1st picture u have posted is of leaked image of LeTV phone..which will b released later this month.
